    I owned the Beech 18 from Octopussey G-BKRG, C-45H it was reg # N75W if i remember correctly. I still have the aerial Bond sprung back and hit the indian chap in the face.

    Sold it to the Aviodome a few years back.

    Engines from it are on My Beech 18 G-BKRN at Bruntingthorpe

    it is excellent

    wonder if the 5 spots were always on the character or maybe something to do with the squadron or summit.

    Received this today from a fireman at Cairns

    Just thought you would like to know that N2500 took off from Cairns Airport, Queensland, Australia this morning at 0815 local (2215 UTC).

    She is a really nice looking airplane. All the firies came out to the front of the station to watch her take off and then cruise at about 1000ft over the Great Barrier Reef.

    Pleased to announce that N2500 has left or will be very shortly leaving on the 1st leg of an epic flight to Australia.

    Off to Jersey first then nice then onto luxor.

    All of us at Beech Restorations wish PT Barnum the very best of luck and would like to thank him for his efforts during our Beech Construction phase.

    flags

    Technically the ‘defacement’ should be by the flagpole, represented as top-left, normally, but a convention is therefore to apply them as if ‘flying’ aft when applied on transport.

    It’s generally regarded by flag experts that flying one flag above another of equal status implies the occupation of the lower flag’s nation by the upper – but this subtlety is almost never properly understood, except in formal international events. Equal status flags should fly on separate flagpoles at the same hight; junior flags below senior (regions (states/provinces/counties) below nations for instance). It’s normally OK to place a ‘block of flags together to show grouping or lists, and without status precedent.

    Why do I learn these things?:rolleyes:

    America owns us don’t they and if we don’t own aus, we should.

    the idea was to show the flag of the build nation then the next nation visited and then lastly the destination.

    further to this they were placed to miss rivets. A very important consideration.

    I Also believe they are correct.

    Initially the stbd flag was incorrect but the one in the pics is dead right

    top left arm of the union jack should have the thick white band at the top.

    this applies to both sides as you look at it

    Mine is a kettenkrad

    ketten is as you say german for track or chain

    krad is german for motorcycle

    kradschutzen = motorcycle soldier

    kettenkrad = tracked motorcycle

    anyway, glad you like the Beech and the krad
